Brett Myers of the Phillies who has been out since May 28 due to a torn labrum in his right hip was forced to miss his first scheduled rehab start Saturday as he is sporting a swollen eye. Unfortunately, the Phillies really don't know how he got it.
Per AP, Myers originally said Saturday that he injured his eye while playing catch with his 4-year-old son. Later that day, Myers told Phillies GM, Ruben Amara Jr. that he actually slipped while getting out his truck and hit his face Friday night.
"Brett told us one story and then he told us this story," Phillies spokesman Kevin Gregg said, "We were misinformed by Brett."
Of course, Brett Myers is the same guy who was arrested for beating his wife in the middle of the street a few years ago.
Look, I don't know how Myers got his black eye. Apparently, neither do the Phillies.
I bet his wife knows how it happened.
Hey Phillies, aren't guaranteed contracts just great?
